Coast Guard repatriates 15 Cuban migrants
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI -- The U.S. Coast Guard reports that it repatriated 15 migrants to
Cuba.
Officials say the Coast Guard Cutter Kodiak Island dropped the migrants
off at Bahia de Cabanas on Thursday.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Key West received a report Monday of
a disabled 20-foot vessel south of Dry Tortugas with Cuban migrants
aboard. The Coast Guard Cutter Paul Clark responded to the report and
safely embarked the migrants. The migrants were later transferred to the
Kodiak Island for repatriation.
Once aboard a Coast Guard cutter, official say all migrants receive
food, water, shelter and basic medical attention.
